ASMR Alert: Step into our Wildlife Lab! 🦌🧪💧👩🏻🔬
Listen in as our skilled Wildlife Futures Program lab technicians orchestrate a ‘symphony’ of science by performing an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay, better known as ELISA. 🎶🔬
One of two tests used to detect Chronic Wasting Disease, ELISA testing is an essential diagnostic tool in identifying this prion disease affecting wild deer populations across Pennsylvania.
By offering this vital testing, Penn Vet's Wildlife Futures Program aids the Pennsylvania Game Commission in safeguarding the Commonwealth’s wildlife and the humans who might come in contact with them.

Pioneering Cutting-Edge Diagnostic Imaging Technology
The standing equine Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner has revolutionized large animal veterinary medicine.
With collaborators at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and LongMILE Veterinary PET Imaging, leading Penn Vet experts have worked diligently to pioneer this new frontier in equine medicine while bringing the most cutting-edge advancements in diagnostic imaging directly to New Bolton Center patients.
Last week, we welcomed nearly 70 veterinarians from across the globe to share the latest developments in this dynamic technology during the inaugural Equine PET Symposium at New Bolton Center.

Advancing Equine Diagnostic Imaging
Positron Emission Tomography – better known as a PET Scan – is a state-of-the-art imaging technique that can uncover microscopic warning signs of injury in equines.
Since installing the LongMILE #MILEPET scanner on Penn Vet’s New Bolton Center campus in 2020, leading diagnostic imaging experts from Penn Vet and UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine have collaborated to advance the understanding and application of this powerful technology across all spectrums of equine medicine.
The first of its kind, the #MILEPET scanner enables the safe imaging of equine limbs in a standing, lightly sedated horse in just 3-5 minutes – no anesthesia required.

We’ve recently launched three new research centers here at Penn Vet
From promoting agricultural sustainability, safeguarding Pennsylvania’s wildlife, and understanding infectious disease – We’ve recently launched three new research centers here at Penn Vet.
Located on Penn Vet’s New Bolton Center campus, the Center for Stewardship Agriculture and Food Security (CSAFS) aims to foster the responsible use of resources entrusted to farmers to produce sustainable and nutritious food while feeding the world’s growing population.
Launched in 2019, the Wildlife Futures Program (WFP) is a novel wildlife health partnership between the Pennsylvania Game Commission and Penn Vet to combat wildlife disease and potential threats to the Commonwealth’s 480 species of birds and mammals.
Leaning into its strength in immunology and infectious disease, the Institute for Infectious and Zoonotic Diseases (IIZD) bolsters Penn’s capacity to understand and develop diagnostics, treatments, vaccines, and cures for diseases that can pass from animals to humans.
Learn more about these three initiatives and stop by #PAFarmShow booth 2209 to talk to the experts themselves!

Our nursing staff hold veterinary technician credentials and undergo cross-training to provide care in all hospital areas.
This means our veterinary nursing team has advanced their learning and logged countless hours of hands-on training. On top of that, some of our veterinary nurses have expanded their expertise by becoming Veterinary Technician Specialists in various areas of patient care.
This #NationalVeterinaryTechnicianWeek, we want to spotlight the determination and passion in achieving these credentials, for which we are endlessly appreciative.
